Photographer's Note

An abandoned window and a boy crying in front of this.
A simple scene, an everyday story, a boy is crying desperately for the loss of his shoe during a game with other kids.

After the take of the photo, I stood for a while looking at the window and tried to imagine the countless everyday stories that took place in front of it. Stories of joy, stories of affliction, stories of ... stories of ...

Γεια σου Μιχάλη,
Very nice composition of the daily life. The little boy is so cute. It's is really a decisive moment just before someone will come (his mother?) to take him in her arms... As a mother, I don't know if I would be able to take this photo!
Χαιρετώ,
Κατερίνα

You've captured a timeless and touching moment. The composition, colors and definition are all first rate. I can imagine what these old walls have witnessed, generations of lives, mostly happy I hope. It was auspicious having your camera with you. I know, I've learned to keep my camera and tripod in my car, for the rare moment that is worth freezing in time.

This is like a 21st. Century version of a painting by the 19th Century painter Nikiforos Lytras. I love the background colours of yellow ochre and cerulean blue.

Kalispera Michael,
For me this is a great photo,with excellent contrast and colors.
However my son didn't agree with me. Particularly for this photo I asked the opinion of my seven years old son.
He directly told me that he didn't like it.
I asked him why?
Here is his reply: "The child is very very sad, why he is crying?"
Then I explained him that he is sad because he lost his shoe...
He continued: "Look mum, his shoe is in his hand, he found it but still crying, must be another reason. I didn't like this photo because the child is very very sad and crying."

So for kids there must be other stories we(adults) can not think.
Excellent photo anyway.
best wishes
Sibel

Hi Michael!
You captured the scene very well and seems the details really help the composition, I like the old wall, the blue window and the little boy is great, in spite of his sadness. Good colours also!
